Bandits terrorize pensioner at Bourda

BANDITS yesterday robbed and terrorized a senior citizen who was traversing the Regent Road, Bourda area.Chaos broke loose in broad daylight when a number of bandits attacked the pensioner and made way with a bag containing unknown articles.
According to eyewitnesses, the man was walking along the pavement on Regent Street when a gunman and his associates mugged the elderly man and pushed him to the ground, after which, they proceeded to hit him to the head with a gun.
Subsequent to that, it was alleged that a store owner came out of his shop and released fire on the bandits, resulting in a gun battle in the heavily crowded area.
“I ran for my life when I hear the gun shots, all I see is everybody start running and ducking… and couple men run through orange walk,” said one eyewitness, who also alleged that the City Constabularies remained tucked away in their outpost, which was a step away from the scene.
Despite the battle between the businessman and the bandits, no one was injured except the elderly man who received injuries to his head.
